I don't even think this person exist and is just an AI pulling from news articles
> Actually, Arnaud De Lie should be the favorite. It doesn't increase so much that it is unambiguous, but we learned on stage 8 of the Tour, where De Lie was locked in, and in Quebec in 2023, that the Belgian is better in ascending sprints than Girmay. He will also love this simple race, where he doesn't have to struggle so much with his positioning, and he is made to be the strongest in a tough race. The uncertainty about his form is just great. After his spring crisis, he retired in Cologne with breathing problems, and now he missed Mayenne with illness. It creates a little too much uncertainty for me to have him as the favorite, but when the race is not a mountain stage after all, it must be bad if he doesn't sprint for the win
this guy is insane, de lie will get dropped on the first passage over the muur
